Next chapter
The opening scene of the movie filmed today is also the scene where the characters appear.
Xiao Liu Jiao flew paper airplanes on the window of the classroom, and Qiao Zheng's folded paper airplanes could fly for a long time, causing the children on the playground to scramble. Liu Jiao asked Qiao Zhengfei to come and see, but Qiao Zhengfei didn't come over and continued to work hard. Liu Jiao ran over and watched him make a model airplane with a look of admiration. This scene mainly shows the personality traits of the two characters, Liu Jiao's liveliness, Qiao Zhengfei's silence, and the characteristics of being good at hands-on.
According to the plan, Zheng Xiaoshuang's shots should have been filmed first, but after arriving at the scene, Zhang Ran found that the child's love was not high, so he decided to shoot Qin Junjie's shots first. Let Zheng Xiaoshuang play with other children, children's love comes and goes quickly, as long as you play with other children for a while, you should be happy.
Soon, filming began.
Qin Junjie sat on the seat and slowly made his handiwork. Zhang Jingchu, who was playing with the loser, stood by the window and shouted: "Qiao Zhengfei, come and see, come and see, they are robbing the plane you made!"
Qin Junjie's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, he didn't raise his head, and continued to do his own handiwork: "That's just a paper airplane!"
Zhang Ran behind the monitor smiled, this kid is really a cold little cool brother, so cool!
After ending this paragraph, Zhang Ran couldn't help clapping his hands, Qin Junjie deserved to be the future man, and the whole shooting got off to a good start.
Children are easy to get nervous when filming, in order to avoid a bunch of people surrounding the pressure on the young actors, Zhang Ran specially arranged the monitors and DIT in the classroom next door. After the first shot passed, Zhang Ran called Qin Junjie over: "Junjie, you acted well just now, I'll give you a reward, let you take a look at the scene you just played!"
Zhang Ran turned up the monitor screen and showed it to Qin Junjie twice: "Junjie, just play in this state, keep it! You can score 80 points in this performance, which is very good." We're trying to get high scores in every game, okay?"
Qin Junjie said "En", he still looked cold, but his eyes were shining, and he could see that he was very happy.
In fact, the director of the shot shot in the movie generally does not show the actors, which will interfere with the actors' performances, of course, there are exceptions. When Zhang Yimou was filming "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Zhou Dongyu was a complete newcomer, and at first she didn't even know what a board was, and she was completely ignorant. Every time Zhang Yimou finished shooting a scene, he called Zhou Dongyu over, let her go, and then scored her, making her believe that every performance she gave was the best. Halfway through the filming, Zhou Dongyu began to get better, and the final effect of the movie was quite good.
Zhang Ran used the same method, asking Qin Junjie to watch his performance and then scoring him to improve his self-confidence.
Qin Junjie is a very smart child, and his personality is very similar to Xiao Qiao Zhengfei, just play himself, so the whole shooting is very smooth, and several shots of Qiao Zhengfei were quickly completed.
However, when filming Zheng Xiaoshuang's scene in the afternoon, the crew ran into trouble. Zheng Xiaoshuang couldn't relax in front of the camera, her performance seemed a little deliberate, and the whole performance became stiff and clumsy, not natural in private at all. Zheng Xiaoshuang wants to act very seriously, but it is this kind of psychology that makes her performance unnatural.
After filming three or four times, Zhang Ran called Zheng Xiaoshuang aside and took her to do puppet exercises, zoom in and out exercises, trying to make her relax, but it didn't work, she was more nervous and her performance was more unnatural.
The last time I auditioned, Zhang Ran had a conversation with Zheng Xiaoshuang, she also seemed nervous, not in a good way, and when she danced, she was completely relaxed, and she looked very lively and eye-catching. This shows that this child has a lively side in his character, and as the director, Zhang Ran must guide Zheng Xiaoshuang to the normal path.
There are no bad actors in this world, only bad directors who can't teach actors well, as a director and acting teacher, if Zhang Ran can't even teach a child, then he can simply find a piece of tofu and die.
However, Zhang Ran always felt that Zheng Xiaoshuang was hiding something in his heart, and he was always a little depressed. It's just that eleven or twelve-year-old children should be carefree, what will be on their minds?
I can only talk to her!
Zhang Ran called Zheng Xiaoshuang aside, keeping a smile on his face. He didn't want the children to feel that he was dissatisfied, and he didn't want to put pressure on them: "Xiao Shuang, what's the matter with you? I always feel that you seem to be unhappy, do you like acting?"
Zheng Xiaoshuang shook his head.
Zhang Ran was a little surprised and asked, "You don't like acting, so why do you want to act?"
Zheng Xiaoshuang lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Ran had a little headache, the most difficult thing to communicate with the little actor was, and asked softly: "What is that? I am the director, and the director in the crew is the biggest, if you sue me, maybe I can help you!"
Zheng Xiaoshuang was silent for a long time before saying: "My mother wants me to be an actor, and my father said that as long as I perform this play well, I can go home and not let me learn to dance in Rongcheng." ”
Zhang Ran kept looking at Zheng Xiaoshuang's expression, and when she said that she was learning to dance in Rongcheng, her eyes were extremely gloomy. Zhang Ran heard Li Xinyue say that Zheng Xiaoshuang left home in September last year and went to the dance school in Rongcheng to learn to dance.
He suddenly remembered that when Liu Yifei came to audition for "Time and Space Warrior" last year. Liu Yifei wanted to flee because her classmates isolated her. He suddenly understood: "The children at school don't like you, they don't play with you, right?"
Zheng Xiaoshuang's eyes widened, his parents didn't know about this matter, how could the director know?
Zhang Ran knew that he had guessed right when he saw her expression, and now he completely understood what was going on. No wonder when filming Qin Junjie's play in the morning, Zhang Ran asked Zheng Xiaoshuang to play with other children, but she didn't do it, but stuck to her father and played with her father, this child lacked a sense of security.
In fact, Zhang Ran doesn't know Zheng Xiaoshuang very well, he watched "Painted Wall" in his last life, and felt that this little girl was very aura, her face was particularly suitable for the big screen, and Zheng Xiaoshuang also won the nomination for Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards because of "Painted Wall". However, after that, Zheng Xiaoshuang didn't have any roles that he could get, and later went to plastic surgery, and the reason for her plastic surgery turned out to be inferiority. When Zhang Ran saw this news, it was a pity that such an aura girl ruined herself, and at the same time she was very surprised, how could such a girl with such a spirit have low self-esteem, now he completely understands.
This matter must be talked to Zheng Xiaoshuang's father, if the parents don't pay attention, the child will repeat the old path of the previous life. However, Zheng Xiaoshuang's lack of security cannot be solved in the short term, and Zhang Ran cannot solve it. But he already has an idea of how to film.
Zhang Ran came to the next room, discussed with the director team, and called Zhang Jingchu over for arrangement.
After all the preparations were completed, Zhang Ran came to the classroom with a stack of blank paper and took Zheng Xiaoshuang to play the wooden man game for a few minutes. Next, Zhang Ran put the blank paper in front of Zheng Xiaoshuang, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshuang, let's fold paper airplanes, fold five first, and then compare them to see whose planes fly higher and farther." ”
Zheng Xiaoshuang said: "I can fold the plane and fly far." ”
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I'm a master of origami airplanes, Qiao Zhengfei, I will definitely win!" As he spoke, he took a few pieces of paper and put them in front of Zheng Xiaoshuang: "Let's compare first, who will fold five first." I'll count three-two-one, and I'll start folding!"
"Three, two, one point five......" Zhang Ran folded it while counting.
"You Laipi, you broke it before you shouted to start!" Zheng Xiaoshuang hurriedly folded it while protesting.
Zhang Ran quickly folded the plane, raised his hands high, and shouted: "I won, I won, the winner is Qiao Zhengfei!"
Zheng Xiaoshuang protested: "You are cheating, you will fold it first!"
Zhang Ran said: "Then let you fold first this time, even if you fold first, I will win in the end." ”
This time, Zhang Ran asked Zheng Xiaoshuang to fold first, and when he started to fold, he deliberately slowed down, and finally Zheng Xiaoshuang won. She also raised her hands high to Zhang Ran, cheering: "I won, I won!"
The corners of Zhang Ran's mouth raised slightly, the child is really coaxing! What Zhang Ran has to do now is to introduce Zheng Xiaoshuang into the prescribed situation little by little, so that she can say Liu Jiao's lines unconsciously. He looked at Zheng Xiaoshuang and said in a disdainful tone: "Let's compete to see whose plane flies high and far." Do you dare?"
"I dare!"
Zhang Ran and Zheng Xiaoshuang each stood in front of a window, flying paper airplanes against the playground below. The sky above the classroom quickly remembered Zheng Xiaoshuang's cheerful voice: "Haha, it's my plane, mine flies farther than yours!"
"It's mine again, it's me winning again!"
On the playground, Zhang Jingchu took a group of children to play below, she had read kindergarten teachers before going to middle school, and it was not a matter for her to play with children at all.
At this moment, Zhang Jingchu saw Zhang Ran standing at the window and gestured to herself, she immediately replied with an ok gesture, and then she clapped her hands and said to the child in front of her: "Children, let's make a game." After a while, when you see my sister upstairs flying down the plane, you go to grab it, and whoever grabs it will give him a little red flower. Okay, okay?"
The children said in unison, "Good!"
In the classroom, Zhang Ran folded five paper airplanes, put them in front of Zheng Xiaoshuang, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshuang, let's change the way we play." There are five planes here, you take them and fly them over the playground, and I'll sit here. There are a lot of children on the playground, and when the plane flies out, if a child grabs my paper plane, you turn around and call me, Qiao is flying, come and see, come and see, they are robbing the plane you made. If they didn't rob it, you said they didn't rob it, okay?"
Zheng Xiaoshuang thought that Zhang Ran was still playing games with him, so he said without thinking about it: "Okay!"
Zhang Ran sat on the stool and clasped his hands together: "Then let's start!"
Zheng Xiaoshuang picked up a paper airplane and came to the window, sighed into his mouth, and threw it hard. The paper airplane flew out, drew a graceful arc in the air, and slowly landed on the ground.
The children downstairs had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and before the plane landed, they rushed up. When the plane landed, they scrambled and shouted, "It's mine, it's mine!"
Zheng Xiaoshuang didn't expect the children downstairs to really grab the plane, and when he saw the children rushing together, it was very funny, and he couldn't help but giggle. Next, she turned her head and shouted at Zhang Ran, who was sitting on the stool: "Qiao Zhengfei, come and see, come and see, they are robbing the plane you made!"
Zhang Ran smiled, this kid smiled so brightly! He stood up and walked to the window: "I'll take a look, haha, how amazing!"
At the same time, behind the monitor next door, Ning Hao slapped his thigh, this shot was fantastic.
This kid is smiling so brightly, so real, I can't see any trace of performance!" Ding Sheng couldn't help but praise sincerely.
Huang Lei's play was supposed to wait for more than a month later, but as soon as the camera started, he joined the group, saying that he was coming to learn Zhang Ran's advanced experience. At this moment, he stared at the camera, but his eyes were bigger than eggs: "The effect is surprisingly good! Look at her eyes and state, she is not acting, she is really thinking so." Zhang Ran created a similar situation and let her act it!"(~^~)
